On the way back to Dragon Garden, Wang Ma had been sneezing in the car repeatedly. She seed to have caught a cold.
After going back to the hall at ho, Lin Ruoxi said worriedly, “Wang Ma, have so dicines and get so rest.”
Wang Ma who looked pale waved her hand. “No need. Miss, you should go back to your room and rest. You need to work, you can’t get sick like I did. My body and bones are hard, an insignificant cold like this is nothing to . After the incident, I need to check the house to see if anything valuable is lost.”
“Wang Ma, don’t check already. Can’t you see that the house is fine? The last thing that the house needs is money. Why would we care about those? Listen to Ruoxi, take so dicines and rest,” Yang Chen said.
Wang Ma kind of agreed to what Yang Chen said. Looking at the surrounding with minimal changes and feeling her dizziness, she said, “Young Master, there were only the two of us here in this house last ti. We don’t keep any dicine at ho. I still need to trouble you to get so outside.”
Yang Chen naturally didn’t deny the request. “Then Wang Ma and Ruoxi, you two may go upstairs and bathe. I’ll be back with dicines when you’re done,” he said before rushing out of the house.
Wang Ma smiled as she looked at Lin Ruoxi, saying, “Miss, Young Master must’ve felt really bad earlier. Looking at his expression at the police station earlier, anyone would feel heartache for him.”
“Really…? I wasn’t paying attention,” Lin Ruoxi said softly. “I said that I didn’t bla him. I can’t do anything if he still wants to think that way.”
“It’s because Miss hasn’t been treating him enthusiastically. When you suddenly get so understanding, Young Master would feel sorry for you,” Wang Ma said and coughed.
Frowning, Lin Ruoxi asked, “If I don’t usually treat him nicely, shouldn’t he feel happy when I get sympathetic?”
“This is where Young Master is different from other guys. He doesn’t keep it in his heart when Miss doesn’t treat him well. That’s why the situation turned out this way. Sigh,” Wang Ma said before walking upstairs slowly.
Lin Ruoxi contemplated as she stood silently, before walking upstairs as well.
At the sa ti, Yang Chen was thinking what dicines he was supposed to get for the two while driving. Since he would never get sick, he had no knowledge when it ca to the effectiveness of different dicines. He reached a private pharmacy. When he wanted to enter the shop, soone called him from behind.
“Young Master, don’t get dicines from this place,” the voice of an old person resounded.
Yang Chen turned around and saw an old man dressed in a gray robe standing in front of him. His appearance attracted quite a lot of attention from the passersby.
“It’s you…” Yang Chen said as he squinted. This guy was the person who followed Lin Zhiguo around, Gray Robe.
Since Gray Robe reached Zhonghai, Lin Zhiguo must’ve co as well, Yang Chen thought.
God’s Stone was indeed impressive. It even made the general of Yellow Fla Iron Brigade to rush over to Zhonghai.
Gray Robe seed really kind, he looked at Yang Chen like he would look at any junior. “When it cos to dicine, taking Chinese dicine is a better idea. There’s a pharmacy nearby, I’ll bring Young Master there.”
After thinking for a while, Yang Chen nodded. Although he wanted to avoid Lin Zhiguo, it didn’t an that he’d reject this old man’s good intention. Furthermore, Yang Chen had limited knowledge when it ca to dicines. He knew that taking Chinese dicine would condition the body better.
Following Gray Robe across a street, they stopped at an old Chinese dicine pharmacy located at a crossroad.
Upon entering the shop, Gray Robe told the shop owner a list of dicinal ingredients. After packing them up, the old folk at the pharmacy passed the package to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen took so money out to pay before saying, “Thank you.”
“Young Master, you don’t need to thank . This is what I should do,” Gray Robe said. “Sigh, it’s our responsibility as well that Miss got kidnapped by Yamata Sect. Master asked to thank you.”
“He doesn’t hate for passing God’s Stone to the people from Yamata Sect?” Yang Chen asked in a mocking manner.
Shaking his head, Gray Robe answered, “Master indeed got mad. The matter regarding God’s Stone is significant. It can influence how energy is divided in the entire world. If it’s not handled appropriately, Yellow Fla Iron Brigade and the organizations from other countries would get into a disaster.”
“The ninjas from Yamata Sect excel in lurking and escaping. You guys won’t necessarily be able to catch them,” Yang Chen said smilingly.
“This is also why I ca here to see Young Master,” Gray Robe said with a serious expression. “We hope that Young Master can help us to track the whereabouts of God’s Stone and kill the three people.”
“I don’t want to be related to God’s Stone anymore, and I’m not interested in letting people think that I’m your ally,” Yang Chen said as he rejected the request. “God’s Stone isn’t related to anymore, not even in the slightest way. If you guys are capable enough to retrieve God’s Stone, it’s fate you should thank. If it ends up being used by Yamata Sect, I can only say that they’re more lucky than you guys.”
Gray Robe’s eyes shone. He said, “Young Master, do you an that you won’t care where God’s Stone ends up at? You won’t step in anymore?”
“That’s right. I quit,” Yang Chen said as he nodded.
“Alright, deal!” Gray Robe said before taking a deep breath. “Actually, Master has his concern as well. He’s worried that Young Master would step in to retrieve God’s Stone. This way, our large-scale hunt would be wasted. Now that Young Master doesn’t want God’s Stone back, we can do as we want.”
“There’s no use for it to be with . It’ll only cause trouble to the people around ,” Yang Chen said with a bitter smile. Waving his hand, he said, “You guys may do all you want. I’ll go now. I still need to simr and serve the dicines.”
Gray Robe nodded smilingly. He said, “Simr the dicines following the instructions written. A cold can be gotten rid of within a night. Help greet Miss Ruoxi when you see her.”
Yang Chen nodded before leaving the pharmacy.
After Yang Chen left, Gray Robe took out his contact device. After the connection was up, he reported, “Master, Young Master has promised to step out of the fight for God’s Stone.”
“It’s as expected, since God’s Stone doesn’t hold any aning to him anymore. I just didn’t think that he’d give up God’s Stone for Ruoxi.”
“Master… what do we do next…”
“You may co back. Since Yang Chen isn’t stepping in, we’ll seize this opportunity. We mustn’t let Hannya and Tanuki go back to Japan.”
“Isn’t Tengu with them as well?”
“Tengu got poisoned by them. His corpse got destroyed into powder. We just got this information after examining the bone ash.”
“Although Tengu was strong, his escape ability was far inferior to Hannya and Tanuki. He’d only form a burden towards them. Now that Tengu was gone, catching the other two would be much more difficult…”
“Yeah… No matter what, whether we can conduct the project ‘God Creation’ depends on this one-day pursuit. If we delay for a while longer, Yamata Sect will send backup for them. Once God’s Stone lands on their hands, it’s very possible that a troubleso enemy would arise. So, we mustn’t get careless this ti!”
“Yes… Master!”
On the way back to the bungalow, Yang Chen’s mood was rather good. He was thinking if he should bring other stuff back ho, since he felt sorry for the two won at ho.
After thinking for a while, Yang Chen turned the car around and proceeded to another street to buy so small gifts.
Regarding God’s Stone, it was a matter between Yellow Fla Iron Brigade and Yamata Sect. It was none of his business. He only wanted to go ho to simr the dicines. It was a fresh experience for him, he had never done sothing like this before.
As he reached the kitchen, Yang Chen followed the instructions and took a crucible out. He started simring the dicines as he read the instructions given.
After more than ten minutes, the sll of Chinese dicine filled the entire kitchen, and dispersed to the second floor.
After bathing, Wang Ma and Lin Ruoxi walked downstairs after changing.
Looking at Yang Chen happily pouring dicinal soup into a bowl, Wang Ma got curious while Lin Ruoxi daydreamt.
“Young Master, why did you think of getting Chinese dicine? Did you co up with the recipe as well?” Wang Ma asked.
Yang Chen placed two bowls on the table as he said, “How would I know any recipe? I asked an old man for a recipe to cure cold.”
Yang Chen didn’t ntion Gray Robe at all. He was very aware that Lin Ruoxi would never consu the dicine if he did.
“I haven’t had any dicine in a while. I still rember when Old Mistress was still here, she’d buy dicines and boil them herself every ti soone got sick in the house,” Wang Ma said. “I still rember Miss was always unwilling to drink the dicine. She had to be consoled before she would agree to consu it.”
Looking at the light brown dicinal soup on the table, Lin Ruoxi said, “Wang Ma, you may drink the dicine yourself. I don’t want it.”
Yang Chen got shocked. “Why don’t you want it? You have to remove the cold from your body,” he said.
“Yeah, Miss, Young Master put in a lot of effort for this. Please drink so,” Wang Ma said.
“I won’t drink it because I say so! I’m afraid of bitterness, okay?!”
Lin Ruoxi suddenly got irritated. She turned around and ran upstairs.
Yang Chen quickly ran into the kitchen to take a small plastic bag out. He shouted, “Wifey, if you obediently drink the dicine, I’ll give you so glutinous rice balls!”
Lin Ruoxi suddenly stopped walking. Her shoulders shivered lightly. Turning around, she shouted, “Gangster!” before running back to her room without looking bad. It could be seen that her eyes were wet.
“Erm…”
Yang Chen got stunned like a wooden chicken. Confused, he thought, doesn’t this girl love glutinous rice balls? I purposely made a big turn to get them. Is it really that torturing to drink dicine?
Wang Ma looked apologetic and sad. Looking at the bewildered Yang Chen, she said, “Young Master, Old Mistress used to console Miss with glutinous rice balls as well, to make Miss consu dicine. You did the exact sa thing. You must’ve reminded Miss of her grandmother.”
Yang Chen got speechless. He didn’t expect to hook Lin Ruoxi’s sad mories twice intentionally. No wonder she seed like she was going to cry.
“Then… Wang Ma, please consu the dicine. I can’t do anything if Ruoxi doesn’t want it,” Yang Chen said helplessly. “Sigh, I got hit by a bullet even when I was lying down. I bet Ruoxi will roll her eyes to for the next few days.”
Wang Ma said, “I don’t think that’ll happen. I think Miss may like Young Master even more.”
“Because I made her think of her grandma?” Yang Chen asked.
“Instead of saying it’s because of Old Mistress, Miss may have felt how concerned you are for her. Being able to do sothing to this extent ans that Young Master has truly placed Miss into your heart,” Wang Ma said.
Embarrassed, Yang Chen replied, “This sounds rather cringey. Aren’t they just a few rice balls? If she likes shark fin or bird’s nest, there’s no way I’m buying them for her.”
However, when Yang Chen brought the bowl to the kitchen as he wanted to pour away the soup, Lin Ruoxi suddenly opened her door from the second floor.
Lin Ruoxi looked down with her wet eyes while she pouted. It was evident that she cried for a while. The usually ice-cold Lin Ruoxi looked particularly cute this way.
“Yang Chen, what are you doing? Are you pouring it away? I haven’t had my dicine yet! Do you hope that I never recover?!”
